I came to united states 3 years ago with my dad. My dad's second wife filed petition for us. Now they are divorced and i live with my dad. I go to school but my dad doesn't support me. Can i get any help form my dad's ex-wife on the basis that she sponsored me?

No. She does not have to support you.

Law Office of Luis A. Guerra (954) 434-5800. This answer is of a general nature and should not be relied upon as final, nor is it intended as legal advice.

Although Under immigration laws she does not have to support you, the answer may be different under family law. It depends on the role she assumed as your step mother. It depends on your age and whether you are going to school full time. Your father is the main person who may be responsible to support you, however. I assume he is giving you room and board?
